Carrot Apple Ginger Juice Recipe

I recently acquired a hand-me-down juicer (a Juiceman, similar to this model) and it’s safe to say I’m officially juice-obsessed! I’m still new to juicing, but I thought I’d share some favorite juice recipes I’ve discovered, as well as some other tips I’ve learned along the way.

This was one of the first juice recipes I whipped up. As a kid, we’d occasionally get fresh carrot juice from the health food store and I loved it. The addition of apple gives this a nice sweetness and the ginger gives it some zing. Love!
The ingredients couldn’t be simpler.

4-6 carrots

1 organic green apple, cored and quartered

1 piece of ginger (approx. 1″)

Push all ingredients through your juicer. Make sure you have a glass or jar underneath the spout to catch your juice! (Seriously. Don’t be like me.)

I roughly chop up my apples, but just juice the carrots whole (after removing the tops.) Depending on your juicer you may need to cut up your veggies more. I also don’t bother peeling the carrots, just give them a good scrub with a vegetable brush. Oh, and if you’re like me and end up throwing away a lot of ginger trying to peel it, check out this video on how to peel ginger with a spoon. Life-changing!

Variations:

If you’d like a juice with more kick, you can do a larger piece of ginger.

Use an orange or two instead of apple. Yum!

Add half a lemon for a juice that’s a little more tart

Throw in a handful or two of spinach for an even healthier juice. It will make your juice kind of a muddy brown color, but it still tastes great.

A lot of recipes call for 2 or more apples, but since I wanted this to be more heavy on the carrot, I only used one. But if you wanted a sweeter, more appley juice you could certainly do more.

Once you’ve made your juice, what do you do with the leftover pulp? It seems a shame to just throw it away. Stay tuned for another post with some great ways I’ve found to use it up!
